Whether you’re cruising for the first time, traveling with family, or organizing a group getaway, I’ll help you navigate the details and create a cruise experience tailored to your needs—making the planning process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable from start to sail.
Hi, I’m JoEllen, owner of DreamCrafters Travels. What started as a love for travel grew into a passion for helping others create vacations they’ll remember long after they return home.
As a wife of over 20 years and mom of three, I understand how meaningful travel can be—whether you’re reconnecting, celebrating something special, traveling with family, or simply taking a much-needed break.
I specialize in cruise vacations and work closely with trusted travel partners to handle the details along the way, so you can spend less time worrying about the planning and more time looking forward to your trip.
You won’t get a one-size-fits-all vacation from me. I take the time to listen to what matters to you, offer honest guidance, and help create a cruise experience that fits you.
Let’s plan something unforgettable.
Working with DreamCrafters Travels is simple, transparent, and stress-free.
We’ll start with a consultation to understand your travel goals, then I’ll provide personalized recommendations tailored to your preferences and budget. When you’re ready to book, your reservations and payments are processed securely through the cruise line or travel supplier, not a third party.
There is no additional cost to you for my planning services.
From booking to departure, I’m here to support you—answering questions, managing changes if plans shift, and checking in along the way—so you feel confident, cared for, and excited from the first conversation through your travels and beyond.
Complete my cruise inquiry form, and we’ll connect to talk about what you’re looking for, your travel preferences, and what would make this trip perfect for you.
Review your personalized cruise options, share what you love (or don’t), and we’ll fine-tune the details until we find the right fit for you.
Before your trip is finalized, you’ll complete a brief Client Terms & Travel Acknowledgment covering important traveler responsibilities, policies and protections.
Already planning with DreamCrafters Travels?
DreamCrafters Travels handles the booking details and helps manage your payments, which are processed directly through the cruise line or travel supplier—so you can mark your calendar and get excited.
Before you sail, I’ll help make sure you’re prepared with important cruise information, reminders, and helpful resources. Then it’s time to board, relax, and enjoy the vacation we planned together.
One Birthday. One Big Cruise. And We’re Planning It Together.
Blake turns 18 in November 2028—and we’re turning the celebration into one unforgettable cruise!
We’re starting early and inviting family and friends to be part of the fun from the very beginning. Right now, we’re exploring Norwegian Cruise Line ships, comparing the contenders, voting on favorites, and eventually choosing the sailing we’ll celebrate on together.
The ship, exact sailing dates, itinerary and pricing aren’t finalized yet—and that’s part of the fun.
You can help us choose.

Everything went well from the moment of booking my travel needs to the actual traveling itself. Everything was smooth, easy transactional love it not to mention Jojo is the absolute best. She really works hard to make sure you're happy. She keeps you on top of your payments if you need to make payments everything. Was really really awesome. I highly recommend letting Jojo be in charge of all your travel needs for future travels thanks again Jojo. We had the best time on that cruise. #SymphonyOfTheSeas.
Our trip was absolutely magical and I truly can't thank our travel agent enough! From the very beginning, everything was handled with such care, attention to detail, and professionalism. Every part of the vacation was perfectly planned, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing.
This was truly one of the most unforgettable trips I've ever taken, and it wouldn't have been the same without their guidance and expertise. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about creating the perfect vacation experience, I highly recommend working with JoEllen. I can't wait to plan our next adventure together!
JoEllen was an amazing agent to work with! She helped me book my last cruise and managed to get me an incredible deal that I honestly didn't think was possible. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and she was very helpful and responsive whenever I had questions.
I really appreciated how knowledgeable and attentive she was throughout the booking. Thanks to JoEllen, my cruise experience started off perfectly before I even stepped on the ship. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to plan a cruise!
